Firstly - you cannot compare the first and the second BarCamp Copenhagen. No way. First BarCamp was 7 geeks sitting around a table making plans for tomorrow - which was great !. Now BarCamp Copenhagen last friday was well mindblowing at least - and everything I really wanted it to be from the beginning.
Still there's room for adjustments... There's room for new skills and new views.
A huge thanks to the dedicated team - my fellow Toothless Tiger, Kim and Troels for helping me out with everything, a special thanks to Kim and Troels andfor managing a great sponsor and the location.
Thanks to Allan and Kimmie for helping us out
Thanks to the amazing Laura Kiralfy and Benjamin Wendelboe for joining the planning team - awesome.
My highlights/ learning points of the evening was:
- Don't do a presentation if you hadn't had time to prepare. I tried to - but I really feel like I didn't do well.. so next time no presentation from me.
- It really pays off for the planners if you cancel beforehand instead of just not showing up - thanks to you amazing people who cancelled so we could schedule food and drinks to the actual ammount of participants.
- People knows stuff - and together we know so much more -there was some really interesting people and discussions going on
- Somebody making my day by writing "hoping that Simon Kvamm would show up" on the board for the reasons they showed up.
- David bringing chocolate from the airport (excellent thing to share)
- Seeing everybody talking, drawing, discussing and know that there's room for that..
SO THANK YOU ! - You gave me a helluva night =) - amazing ! - let's do it again ( not too soon though)
